You
already know that an automotive key management system can make your
life easier, but what if I told you it might offer some other
benefits you haven’t considered? It’s true! Good key management
can do a lot more than save you inconvenience and worry. Here’s
how!

Have you ever seen the following situation, or perhaps been involved in it yourself? A customer comes in to see a specific vehicle, and the key is not where it’s supposed to be. Now there is a wild goose chase all over the dealership as sales people try to determine who has the key, whether they are showing the vehicle to another customer, etc. Meanwhile, the customers are waiting, becoming increasingly irritated, and your team looks completely unprofessional. If this scenario sounds familiar, don’t worry – it’s not just you. This is, unfortunately, a common occurrence at dealerships all across the country.

Now,
what happens if the salesperson helping the aforementioned customer
finds out that someone else forget to put the key back after showing
the vehicle? What if the customers, by that point, have gotten tired
of waiting, and one employee’s forgetfulness has cost another a
sale? Thanks to the lack of an automotive key management system,
your dealership has lost money, and that’s never good, but that’s
only the beginning. The seeds for friction within your sales team
have also been sown. Add to this the wasted time– which, in auto
sales, translates to wasted opportunity– and the stress, and you’ve
got the recipe for a more negative, less productive workplace.

This
isn’t just me talking. A study in the International Journal of
Environmental Research and Public Health reported that employees
experiencing stress can be up to 19 percent less productive than
those who are mostly stress-free. That means stress might cut
productiveness in your dealership by nearly one-fifth! Another
article in the same journal published the results of a study showing
that a toxic work environment– such as that caused by friction
between employees– also negatively impacts productivity. This means
that an automotive key management system won’t only save you time
and money upfront, but, by removing a major source of stress and
contention, may also improve productivity overall at your dealership.
It’s even possible that, with the right automotive key management
system, you may actually gain
time and money thanks to improved productiveness at your dealership!
